For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the batter. Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the fritters; cook in batches to ensure even browning. The key to crispy fritters is removing as much moisture from the squash as possible. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Squeeze the grated squash: Place the grated squash in a colander lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Aim for about 1 cup of tightly packed, drained squash. (5 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained squash, grated onion, flour, beaten egg, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Cook the fritters: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan. Use the back of a spoon to flatten each fritter to about 3-4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thickness. (2 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Fry until golden: Cook the fritters until the edges are deep golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until golden brown. (2 minutes)
05
Step
1 mins
Drain and season: Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess butter. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt immediately after removing from the pan. (1 minute)
06
Step
5 mins
Repeat and serve: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed to prevent sticking. Serve the fritters warm, topped with shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped chives, and a dollop of sour cream. (5 minutes)
